The CoolerMaster Case (ATC-200)

[wreed]

Does anyone own this case, and if so what do you think of it. I am thinking of buying this case and putting my mobo in it, and i wanted to know what the owners of this case think about it.

So does anyone have this case?

Does someone actually own this case?

I don't have one. But I want to get the ATC-201 version. I'm not really sure if it's worth $300 though.

I have the ATC 200 and it's a great case. The craftsmanship of the case is excellent. The only con about the case is the price.

 

[Jumpem]

Hey Kyoshozx, where did you get your case from? And what brand of 80mm fans does it come with? Thanks!

ATC-201 will be avaible in about 2 weeks. The price of ATC-201 will be higher than ATC-200 due to 4 bay configuration, front USB port and clear coat finish on the side panel.

The cheapest place that sells the ATC-200 should be ComputerHQ or Chip Merchant

There are 2 brands of fans on the case, one is YS-Tech and other one is Invovative.

I forgot where I got it from. But I believe it was from thechipmerchant. I just remembered I found the link from the Ars review.
My case came with Y.S tech fans. I replaced them all, they just didn't seem to move any air at all.

Yes I finally got some responses... LOL. Curious...what fans did you replace them with?

Also wanted to know how will you hook up those usb ports in the front of the case? I have ports available on the back of my motherboard.

I plan on purchasing the case in January...along with a 600 MHZ processor..

the ATC 200 doesn't have usb ports in front. Only the 201 and 100 I believe have the ports. IT's for the newer motherboard that supports more than 2 usb and they have a usb header on there motherboard.

As to what fans i replaced them with, well I had 2 card cooler the one with ball bearings. So I basically took that apart and used those fans in the case. The fans are louder than those that originally came with.

The case is great. The placement of those 2 fans in the front cools my 2 cheetahs and they run barely warm to the touch.

See I knew that....about the USB ports only on the 201 and 100 models, I personally just want the 200 series. I want this case bad, but i need to gather up some more $$. Probably after Christmas?

If anyone of you guys wanna see this case up close, the Fry's in Anaheim, CA has the ATC-100 and the ATC-200. There's also another similar case, which I believe was the Lian-Li 60 if my memory serves me right. They're real nice case, just wish they weren't so expensive.
